'QUAKE CENTRE
DEEP SEA DISTURBANCE Wellington, Friday. The reeording instrument at theDominion Observatory began reeording the quake between 1.25 and 1.26 а.m. The shake was one of very large amplitude, so much so that in the case of some instruments the vibrations were more than they could record. At 1.48 a.m. a second strong shake came through and the two shakes between them made a very Ponfused record. A third fairly severe shake was recorded at 2.22 a.m. and lesser shakes came through at 3.59, 5.14, б.13 and 9.4. The seismographs were in vigorous motion for two hours after the initial shake. A tentative estimate of the centre of the disturbance from a preliminary study of the records, is 30 miles to the East of Waipiro Bay, the disturbance probably being a deep sea one.
